Encryption keys based
on RC4 algorithm
(typically 40-bit keys)
More secure than
64-bit WEP using a
key length of 104 bits
plus 24 additional bits
of system generated
data
TKIP (Temporal Key
Integrity Protocol)
added so that keys are
rotated and
encryption is
strengthened
AES (Advanced
Encryption Standard)
does not cause any
throughput loss
